Cigarette Smoking.

A young man recently died in New
York, presumably from the effects of
cigarette smoking. The evil effects Of
such habit are well known to physi-
clans, but, Notwithstanding the warn
ings that have been published, the
habit seems to be spreading, not only
among young boys, but also among
men of ripper years whom one would
think had better sense. People who
smoke cigarettes do more smoking
than those who use cigars or pipe.
They inhale the smoke, which is
charged with nicotine, and this lodges
on the lungs. The fresh air which is
beneficial to the human system is ex-
cluded, and the blood becomes poi
soned. The poison reaches the heart,
as it did in the case of this young man.
and the cigarette smoker in time has
heart disease, which ultimately results
in death. Some suppose that the
paper wrappings Of cigarettes do the
mischief, but such is not the case. The
paper may contain poison, but this
poison is not as dangerous as the nico-
tine. 1t would be blessing to human
ity if some law were passed to suppress
the manufacture of the deadly cigar
ettes.-Denlorest's Monthly.
